To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land
We've been too long American dreaming
And I think we've all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
I'm in love with an American girl
Though she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her
And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores???
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?
Here alone on the grounds are millions of seeds we've left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found
We've been too long American dreaming
I think we've all lost: lost the door
Fear on somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?
I need my conscience to keep watch over me To protect me from myself So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head When I walk into the promised land We've been too long American dreaming And I think we've all lost the way Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark I'm in love with an American girl Though she's my best friend I love her surreptitious smile That hides the pain within her And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter And live along by the shores??? Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows How long how long? Here alone on the grounds are millions of seeds we've left behind Turned back by the foot of the doorway Never lost and found We've been too long American dreaming I think we've all lost: lost the door Fear on somnambulistic maniacal in the dark Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows Faith, on the lea the rising wind blows How long how long?
